Commission closes FY27 Section 5311 transit grant hearing; approves application
Summary
St. Clair County held the required public hearing for its FY2027 Section 5311 public‑transportation grant application to ALDOT, reviewed service hours, fares and vehicle accessibility, received no public comments, and voted to approve the application and related documents.
St. Clair County held its annual public hearing on the FY2027 Section 5311 grant for public transportation and moved to approve the application and related documents.
A presenter for St. Clair County Public Transportation described the program and grant: the administrative budget is 80% federal/20% local; operations are 50/50; vehicle capital is 80/20. Service runs 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, fares are cash only (listed as $2 per five miles plus $1 for each additional stop), and all 21 vehicles are handicap accessible with caregiver and child‑fare exceptions. The presenter said project descriptions and budgets are available on request.
No public comments were offered during the hearing and the commission voted to close the public‑hearing portion. At a later point on the agenda the commission formally approved the proposed FY27 Section 5311 application as presented by Public Transportation Director Janice Smith; commissioners noted any personnel changes proposed in the budget would be subject to separate hiring or budget votes.
